What the heck is WKRQ in Cincinnati doing?

[musicfanpete]

Well most of us already agree that Q-104 should be moved to the CHR panel. But what is it with their Timbaland fix?!

Even most CHR's don't play the same artist 200 times a week like they are doing. They must be spinning Timbaland once every half hour!

Q104 is in Cleveland. ;)

That's ridiculous to have ONE Timbo song playing that much, let alone 3. :o

You're right. My bad. :)

I did mean the Cincinnati station, but they are 101.9, while Q-104 is indeed in Cleveland.

Washington DC's 99.5 has a fix like that on Rihanna for whatever reason.

[Kid Pulse]

Yeah, but they are a pop station, so I think it's okay for them.

[Ragin]

You know for whatever reason, I wasn't picking up on that even though this is the HotAC topic. That IS ridiculous. Totally doesn't make sense to fixate on Timbaland for HotAC.

You meant Q102 (not Q104)...pretty easy to confuse to two IMO since one is in Cincinnati and the other is in Cleveland -

Although Q102 is now CHR IMO b/c the Clear Channel Kiss station in Cincinatti is essentially rhythmic, so WKRQ moved in to fill in the CHR pop "hole"...and b/c Cincinatti has another "Mix" Hot AC station anyway
